Tripthi's PoV :

"What is the reason behind this happiness Tripthi? Is it because of the way he looks at you?"

"It is because of the way he makes me look at me" I smiled confidently

"Wow, so my Maan has already influenced his Jaan. The girl who was skeptical of speaking one word is reciting beautiful words," Bhabhi teased untangling my wet braid

I deeply stared at my reflection in the mirror. I was unable to comprehend what that blind guy even see in me

"Did you even hear what I said?" Bhabhi's tap on my shoulder brought me back

"Sorry, I was just.."

"Lost in Armaan's thoughts" Bhabhi sang

"Please Bhabhi, stop it"

"How can I? This is my chance and I am going to use it to my full advantage" she tickled me

"Bhabhi, please stop it. I am already experiencing earth being slipped away from my feet, so please don't turn me any more nervous" how hard I tried yet tears slipped out of my eyes

"Trippy, why are you crying?" Bhabhi wondered

"It's nothing" I tried wiping my tears

"So you are again doing the overthinking and punishing yourself?" she questioned straight

"No Bhabhi" it felt so tough holding back my tears

"Tripthi, it's pretty much okay to be weak" she hugged me from back not caring about my wet clothes

Tears erupted out of my eyes without control; I fell on the floor unable to stand up. Anna who is putting Mayur to sleep came running towards my room and helped Bhabhi in lifting me from the floor

"Trippy, what happened? Why are you crying? Did Alu say something? I can divorce her for you" Anna tried bringing a smile on my face ignoring Bhabhi's warning look

Bhabhi hugged me like no one ever did, she pulled me so close in her embrace and didn't move even when my tears soaked her tee wet

None of us spoke and my emotional state is kept draining my energy

"Why are you crying? I am your favorite right? Tell me na" Anna requested

"Mamu" three of us turned our heads towards Mayur who crawled to us

I chuckled a little as he kept repeating the word crawling all the way towards me

"You know Atta soo well right Mamu's Chamche?" Bhabhi said with fake anger when he gave his naughty two-toothed smile

He tried to scale the bed but Anna picked whining Mayur in his arms before he can get wet

"Rishi, go and iron your shirt for the event," Bhabhi ordered indicating him to leave the place giving us privacy

"So is Mayur's Mamu the reason behind your tears?"

"I don't know"

"Trippy, concealing everything inside you won't help any of us. Please" she requested drying my hair
